    It appears that you don't believe that. You are mistaken.

    The press was never intended to be political activists.

    The press was never intended to be open advocates for one political idealogy, and openly hostile to another.

    Oh my.....yet cry about Vets on the Right and those that are 2A that stick it to the leftness all the time. One minute you are whining about those enemies we uhm…..service. Now its we don't have any guts.

    Let us know when you can spill your blood in other foreign countries.....then deal with that tricky part about making it back home.

    Until then save that Bullshit for those of your own kind.

    It wasn't an assault...it was a battery by Acosta on the young female intern. The GOP had their biggest lost since Watergate...not the biggest ever, as far as overall seats lost. The biggest swing would be the Obama years of over a 1000 seats lost. With that said, as far as the Federal Govt goes, it wasn't' that big of upset...in fact they gained seats...which is unheard of in modern mid-term elections...and really only lost 11 seats in the House since the others were merely Dems winning Dem seats
    The video is clear, he was pushing her away as she was reaching for the mic

    "CNN stopped doing news a long time ago," King said while be interviewed by another former CNN anchor, Rick Sanchez. "They do Trump. Fox is Trump TV and MSNBC is anti-Trump all the time."

    "You don’t see a story — there was vicious winds and storms in the Northeast the other day — not covered on any of the three cable networks, not covered," King noted. "So when CNN started covering Trump — they were the first — they covered every speech he made and then they made Trump the story. So, Trump is the story in America."

    The MSM is in general the enemy of the people -- by what the MSM commits and what the MSM omits.

    Captain Spanky Bone Spurs as their commander in chief would be quite impressive ;)

    Oh they care.....that cloud of dust running the opposite way of the MS13 neighborhoods. Puts that into perspective with the reality check.

    "The free press has an obligation to hold Trump accountable for his conduct."

    Yes. I'll go even further. The press has an obligation to hold all public officials accountable for their conduct AND their policies. They do, in fact, have a large mouthpiece with which to do so. That mouthpiece is called their reportage.

    Behaving like a three-year-old in the checkout line, throwing a tantrum over a denied candy bar, does nothing to inform the public.

    I recommend you get some sort of training. Kempo would be a good start.

    Personal attack noted.

    As always, the far right responds with hate and personal attacks when they are defeated in these discussions.

    Doesn't matter he got physical with the young lady. He refused instructions to hand back the microphone. He refused to allow the next reporter to ask their question followed by the other reporters stepping on their time.
    He was told to give it up and he refused and pushed her arm away. That warrants a permanent ban on him.

    Oh.....why you personally attack Combat vets that made it home.

    Now your upset because your hated doesn't rule the day.

    Save the preaching. Then try tuning in with reality.

    Btw.....I'm not an armchair chickenhawk General. I could only manage Squad Leader.

    Which is why I've agreed several times that I see the justification for yanking his permissions. What I'm calling BS on is all of the nonsense about "karate chopping" and "battery."

    It was a battery, doesn't have to be a "karate chop" to he a battery. He tried to push her away from doing her job and prevent the microphone from being passed to other reporters. He's outta there.
